Criteria: Per section 200.403(g) of the Uniform Guidance, Costs must be adequately documented. Cause: The Authority did not properly file documentation for the expenditures selected.

Repeat Finding: Yes, 2021-003 Recommendation: We recommend the Authority train staff to maintain sufficient and secure records of program expenditures.
